I guess the guy knows he can't drive.. Because even if it was stock he should pull on your car from a roll. Look at the trap speed, it's good for a real low 13.

If he had exhaust you would of been looking at his tail lights. (automatic or manual)

There are alot of LS1's with 80,000-100,000 miles.. I could see you beating one of them, or one with a bad driver. But a healthy LS1 with a good driver is a faster car.. They're hitting high 12s with minor mods with a great trap speed.

LS1's and '03-'04 Mach 1 Mustang's are pretty damn close.. and the mach1's are trapping 106 - 108 bone stock.

Are you sure it wasn't an LT1?

Now, not only do we not know what we are racing, but people don't know what kind of car they own!

The v6 Accord 6Speed coupe was also on the freeway, beat him by about 4-4.5 car lengths, from the look on his face and the thumbs up id say he was suprised. The EP3 Si Hatch was on the streets, I pulled on him by about 7-8 Car lengths...he got kinda ____ed off and did a fly by, running a stop sign...LoL

Ive still yet to add my NST 9.5psi pulley into the mix. Right now im , TRD S/C, MMW Header/ S-Pipe, HKS Hi Pow Axle Back.


I believe that people discredit it, because of the HP-per-Dollar Ratio is not that of a turbo tC. It's pretty expensive for what you get. And screw the whole "well you get a warranty with it" crap, because the minute you slap on a new pulley...bye bye warranty.

DUDE! I think you are in denial. Guess what, if we had 80k miles on our car + a turbo, I still would walk on that LS1.

I don't know how many times I've said it...."What happens on the track will not, and does not equal what would happen on the street from a roll"

Do you play 20 Questions before each race....geesh.


Here's a suggestion, watch the video man...

The only driver error in the race was the first run, in which Misti started in a higher gear, and he still could NOT pull us....

We she started in the right gear the second time, she actually WALKED him.

Exactly! From a roll it would be even worse for you! Look at their trap speeds. Why do you think you're so much faster then a car that hits low 13s bone stock?

Didn't you use a g-tech and say you were hitting mid 13s? What was your trap speed on that?

Do some research before you start saying you can walk LS1's..

RESEARCH..... Dude, it's on video

Why am I even waisting my breath with you....


And it wasn't a g-tech. It was the HKS TT, you can't do trap speed at the same time as doing your E/T.

You never cease to amaze me. I CONFESS, THE LS1 RACE WAS STAGED....I REPEAT THE LS1 RACE WAS STAGED!!!


I think If I had to hand an award to our Biggest Hater, you would be a strong candidate for the Oscar...

I'm not saying it was staged, I'm just saying you beat the driver, not the car.

There are plenty of stock LS1's that would walk all over your car.

Since we are on the subject of American Muscle....

I'm going to add a brand new GTO to the list for you DoubleJ16....seeing as how you didn't think the cars in the vids were worth racing, and I needed to step up the proverbial SPEED ladder...

(I don't know wether to take that as a compliment, or a not?) It's not like we are racing against riced out Civics with coffee can mufllers hanging on the ground.

The cars that we have previously raced are very well suited for our performance level. I like close races, not the ones where I leave them 8+ cars back.


On a different note: Within our local community, I think we have built up a little bit of street credit. I believe now, our rep/persona has exceeded reality...lol. After I raced the GTP, he was telling me that before the race, people were coming up to him and telling him that he better be prepared to have his A$$ handed to him by at least 5 cars....LOL.. Reality of it was, I only beat him by about 1 (then again, I got a late start, because of confusion on who was to honk). So, I estimated that if started at the same time, I would put at most 2 cars. The rule was to not go over 115mph.

Did you read this in your magic ball or something? How can you make a judgement like that based on events to which you were never apart of?

If it's one thing you will learn about me, it's that I don't buy into the whole "Paper Racing" BS... If your car is faster than mine, let's line'm up and find out. That's how we do it in the Boro. Misti beat the LS1 guy by 3 cars at minimum, it is what it is, Nothing More, Nothing Less.

I don't go around saying I can beat EVERY LS1, or EVERY WRX, or EVERY 240SX with an RB20 motor in it.....I said we beat This LS1 - here are it's mods....we beat This WRX - here are it's mods...we beat This 240SX - here are it's mods...

Get the picture now..

If it's a brand new GTO then it has the LS2, 400hp, under 5 seconds 0-60, and traps ~107mph in the quarter.

Why on earth would you think you could beat that car? Wake up, goto a track and see what your trap speed is.. It's not going to be anything near that unless you up the boost alot.

Maybe if you actually went to a track and posted some videos of you trapping in the 106-108mph range then I wouldn't call BS..

But you won't do that because then everyone will see how full of shyt you are.
